We recently attended Society for Endocrinology’s (SfE) British Endocrine Society (BES) conference in Harrogate.
The three day event is packed with science, research, clinical investigation and clinical practice for healthcare professionals. Our charity was a number of SfE Patient Support Groups (PSGs) attending the event with an information stand, as we represented the child growth community with our booklets and range of resources. It was brilliant to chat with a number of healthcare professionals in attendance, with exhibitor organisations and with the PSGs there over the course of the event.
Key parts of the CGF’s work include raising awareness and supporting healthcare professionals, and so events like this are a great opportunity in working towards these important aims of our work!
The SfE PSGs meet virtually on a regular basis throughout the year and while so many of us were together in Harrogate we had an in person meeting with members of the SfE team and a number of representatives from the PSGs, with the opportunity to talk about collaborative working amongst our various organisations to support our work and the communities we are here for.
